Why We Exist

Mission

Good Samaritan Services gives immediate help to people who are experiencing homelessness, and helps those at risk of becoming homeless, by restoring their lives to stability. We engage the community to support these efforts.

Vision

To play a leading role in our community in ending and preventing homelessness.

Values

Our Christian FAITH is the central to all we do at GSS. We draw on COMPASSION to respond to the needs of individuals and families in crisis with GENEROSITY. To make a lasting impact we work in PARTNERSHIP with individuals and community groups; exercise thoughtful STEWARDSHIP over the resources we have been given, and express GRATITUDE for all the help we receive and share.

Recognizing that the excellence of our organization is the result of the CHARACTER of our staff and Board, and that positive change in the lives of those we serve and in our organization is encouraged by OPTIMISM, we nurture a culture that encourages TEAMWORK to bring about the best results for program participants, staff and the community as a whole.

Our Approach

There is an affordable housing crisis in our community. Good Samaritan Services is working on multiple fronts to address this crisis.

PRESENT: We attend to the immediate needs of individuals and families who are currently homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless by offering shelter, transitional housing, permanent housing services and long term affordable housing.

FUTURE: We are cultivating relationships with churches, landlords, developers and County development staff to help develop more affordable housing in our communities, so that more families have a place to call home. If you are a landlord and want to join us in this effort please contact us at info@goodsamservices.org.
